This was a response that I posted to a DailyBuzz topic in Toddler Buzz: "Toddler-Proof Your Christmas Tree".

I decided to turn it into a journal post and add pics to share the idea with the rest of my mom friends out there in CafeMom land!

So here we go...

Our tree has been up since the week before Thanksgiving (see my journal post re: Our Thanksgiving Traditions to understand more) and we have had no problems BUT now that it's Christmas time... it's time for a change!

And so...because our 8ft tree sits in our living room, right smack in the middle of the same room where all of the play toys are, I decided this year "just because" to decorate it with nothing but TOYS!

Along with the white lights, garland, and a star...I used Colorful Ball Pit Balls, Farm Animals, Cars, Pacifiers, Assorted Teething Rings, Rattles etc. as the ornaments and a Tonka Car Rug for the tree skirt...and it's perfect!

The room is colorful & festive and the tree "matches" the existing "baby/toddler decor"! (See pics below)

I'm going now to add some rainbow candy canes that I picked up at the store yesterday...
